Hello,

Anybody here noticed/experienced that sex makes your skin look worse - extra pustules/papules? Can it be linked to DH or celiac disease?

thanks

This could be the case if your partner is using some nonGF stuff like makeup or lotions etc that are coming into contact with your mucous membranes. Or if your partner is drinking beer or another gluten food or beverage your kissing or then being well.... shall we say extra close and adventurous in the 'kissing' dept. If you catch my drift.

Hey,

I thought so, but it seems it also happens like 1-2 day(s) after masturbation without any partner involvement. Any ideas?

no reason, rthen, to think it's related to celiac. perhaps a hormonal response, but that delay with no other reason dor correlation, i would look into other reasons.

Could be from zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency is very common with Celiac. Skin issues are some of the many things associated with zinc deficiency. Now consider that massive amounts of zinc are in semen. It could very well be your problem. I wouldn't recommend major supplementation unless your Doctor recommended it or you really know what you're doing. Zinc can deplete copper and that's another huge can of worms.

Really?? I'm surprised more men don't use this as a pick-up line. "hey baby! Wanna get a little healthier....?"

      4 Years and very little progress

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the  forum @maylynn! Have you had a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for healing of the villous lining? If not, it's about time one was done. As Scott mentioned, I also wonder if you have food intolerances in addition to gluten. Oats (even gluten free oats), dairy, soy, corn and eggs are some of the most common ones in the celiac community.

      Is your gluten-free diet strict? Do you eat out in restaurants? If so, you could be getting contamination, and over time that can slow recovery. You may want to get a follow up celiac disease antibody panel done to make sure that your levels have gone down since your last tests. Also, have you had various nutrient levels checked via a blood test, and have you been taking vitamin & mineral supplements since your diagnosis?  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.    Do you still have celiac disease symptoms?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Hello!  I am here as a last result, hoping for some advice, similar stories, etc. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. By the time we figured it out my iron levels were so low I had to get infusions, and I had lost 20lbs. in two weeks going from a 5'11 130lbs woman to a 110 lbs. Now, I am 21 and have gained 4 lbs since. Every time I eat a meal, I get three bites in and feel so full that I feel sick. I can't eat a full meal. Something else has to be wrong right? This can't just be more "normal" right? I have done test after test and no doctor in my area can figure anything else out. They have told me I most likely have shrunken my stomach by now with how little I am eating so that has to do with some of the sick feeling. What have you done to gain the weight back? Foods? Workouts?

      Thank you so much, Scott. I find it incredibly daunting navigating this celiac space and I find comfort in your wealth of knowledge. Thank you 🙏🏻
